One of the most common questions we've heard: "Why is the district asking for an operating levy?"
The answer begins with the work we've already done. Over the past two years, LCWM has reduced more than $600,000 from its budget through staffing changes, restructuring positions, and reducing expenditures. These were difficult decisions, but they reflected our commitment to being responsible with taxpayer dollars.
Even after those reductions, our district continues to face increasing costs, changes in state funding, and declining enrollment.
The proposed operating levy is intended to help maintain the educational opportunities our students have today while reducing the need for additional budget reductions in the future.
Over the coming weeks, we'll continue sharing factual information to help our community make an informed decision this November.

Thankfully the weather was nicer last week for the annual "senior sunrise"! Seniors gathered on the football field last week to enjoy breakfast and some time together to start the school year. It was great to see so many students attend!
